Farmajo and Bihi were not accompanied by members of their delegations during the meeting.
The details of the meetings were not released and the media is kept in the dark.
The Somalia president is in Addis Ababa for the African Summit there, while president Bihi was invited to lobby the world leaders participating the summit.
Talks between Somalia and Somaliland were postponed on several occasions after attempts to bring the two presidents to a meeting did not materialize.
